It was reported that 3 Gr. Man birders abandoned their posts and launched a cunning strike by touring N.E. England ticking birds with gusto, with little regard for refreshments or other distractions. Such was their fanaticism that they even declined the offer of afternoon tea with home made scones, sensing (probably correctly) that the tea was drugged anyway in an effort to curtail their rampage.
Birds allegedly seen were Whiskered Tern, Spotted Crake, Roseate Terns, and others, though admittedly though somewhat shaken by this foreign incursion, these birds were non the worse for the encounter.
You 3 know who you are, so be warned; - I'LL BE BACK!
